Angels Disguised As Strangers

This poem is dedicated to my therapists Ryan, Russell, Ken and Rafael. This is a true story. Where did it all go wrong, A simple fall led me to my, Body becoming alien to me. My brain is not listening, It's like I have disappeared altogether. My mouth gives no words, Only a language that no one understands, Only pity is all they know. I have thoughts and feelings, But they lie dormant, Just like my body. I can't move only by the hands of strangers Who talk and I just listen. Months go by and I feel, My muscles talking to me. I begin moving, My brain is awake. The tears fall and these strangers hold me, As I realize they are no longer, Strangers but my angels.
